Jake's POV"She's okay and would be up soon," Those were the doctor's parting words before he left. He said her immune system was weak and it was hard for her to digest the alcohol that she drank. I blame Kimberly for all of this!I sat on the chair by her bedside, waiting for the moment she would flutter those eyes open. But she didn't. The doctor said she'd be up anytime soon, yet after 3 hours that 'soon' was yet to arrive."Violet," I called out softly when I saw her eyebrows crease. She finally opened her eyes. "Hey," I took her hands in mine but she was quick to slip it out immediately."Where's Kimberly?" I can't believe those were the first words she uttered as soon as she woke."Forget Kimberly," I dismissed, "how are you feeling? Should I call the doctor?" I tried not to leak the worry in my voice. How could she ask of Kimberly first?! What about me, her mate?!"I'm good," She said dryly, "is my mum here?""I didn't tell her so she wouldn't worry but I'm sure my mum has r
Jake's POV"She's in very critical condition,"I nodded my head at the doctor's words. I expected considering the amount of blood she lost. That's right, Felicia is not dead.When I saw her bloodied body on the floor I thought she was dead. But on getting closer, I saw her hands move. Her breathing was very faint, I knew I had to act fast if not the only chance to find Emily will be lost.I would have loved to take her to our pack's doctor but her health was too critical to be left unattended. So, unfortunately, I'm still in Cross wood pack, in front of Alpha Hemp, trying to talk to him like the civilized people we both are pretending to be. Normally, we both want to tear each other apart, but now is not the time for that."So little boy–""It's Alpha Jake to you," I corrected him with a smile I'm sure irked him."You have not yet assumed the alpha position so it's safe to say you are still a boy. Besides, what's an alpha without a pack? You and your pack members are more like rouges
Jake's POV"Are you ready to talk?!" I jeered at Hemp who sat haughtily on his throne with his legs crossed. For someone who has stripped naked a while ago, he was quite thick-skinned."You're the one who needs information from me don't use that tone on me!" He cleared his throat and expertly avoided eye contact knowing fully well that I could snap his neck at any time."Alright. Tell me what you know about Felicia," I said more calmly."It was a vampire.""That I know already," I replied as a matter of fact."Well...I was quite surprised to know that vampires were still in existence. Last I remember, they went extinct 300 years ago during the great war between the three clans.""And?" I asked hurriedly. Hemp cleared his throat at my evident impatience."According to him, his master has scores to settle with you. He brought Felicia to me so I could protect her for a while. Heard she stabbed your mate with Rougebane," He laughed,'He's telling the truth' Zion suddenly said and most of
Violet’s POV“Where are you Kim?” I asked Kimberly on the phone. It’s been two days now and I’ve not seen any sign of her or even…Jake.“I’m busy with something, I’ll come visit when I have the opportunity” she lied. I knew she did. “I know you’re feeling guilty, no need to lie to me. You know what? Just come over so we could talk. I’m bored shitless and you not being here is making things worse for me” I tried convincing to see if she could come around.“What about Jake?” She asked and I went placid over the line. Sensing my uneasiness, she quickly said “give me ten minutes, I’m close by” and she quickly ended the call. I sighed and kept the phone on the desk by the desk side. What will I do without Kimberly? She always comes running whenever I find myself in a fix. Well, I'm always in trouble so technically, Kimberly has always been with me. Meanwhile… I have a mate who doesn’t care. He didn’t come again after I told him to leave yesterday. I waited for him to come throughout the
Violet’s POV After chatting with Kimberly for a while, she left. The pack house was uncomfortable for me as there was no one I could talk to and I’m always on pins and needles around the alpha and Luna, afraid I’ll make a mistake. The pack house was more lively than I could remember or maybe I didn’t remember it at all as I always avoid coming here. Everyone appreciates the effort I make in avoiding the pack house as they didn’t really like me as well. Now that I had already married Jake and was the potential future Luna of the pack, they started acting awkwardly around me. I guess they didn’t know how to act since all they’ve ever done was insult me in the past. “Violet…” it has been long since I heard that voice. My wolf, Jumi. Ever since the rejection from Jake, she had cut contact with me and the outside world and has slept t herself ever since. The last time I felt her was when I fought with Felicia in the female’s restroom at the crescent moon anniversary. “Hey” I called out t
Violet’s POVWas I wrong to be thinking about my nakedness at this moment?If I wanted to get answers from Emily, I would have to change into my human form. I didn’t bring any clothes with me and it was the first time someone would see me naked. Apart from my mum who was with me on my first shift, no one has seen me naked. Nudity was very common within werewolves but since I haven’t gotten used to being naked around others…I practically act like a human.I know right. Silly of me to be thinking about my nakedness in this kind of situation. I turned back to look at Kendrick who was still laying behind the log of wood- wasn’t he uncomfortable naked? - and then at Emily, who stood smugly in front of me without saying anything. I take that she thought I was surprised seeing her here, meanwhile, I was contemplating if I should shift, or just run away. No. running was not an option; I would seem like a coward.“Surprise!” Emily exclaimed and I growled. “You’re still as feisty as the last t
Violet's POVIt wasn't so hard for me to put the pieces together. I had come to understand that what happened at the cliff years ago and recently was a manifestation of Safina's powSeeing her not surprised that I had such powers made me suspicious that she already knew of our past li“And where do you think you’re running off to, Vakiba!” I took a leap of faith. Her pale face as soon as those words left my mouth, confirmed my thoug"How long have you known?" With shock written all over her face, she as"I'm not telling," I smirked. I wouldn't tell her that I didn't know everything, yet. It'll put me at a disadvantage. Just fragments of memories that I'm trying to fix together to get the full comprehension of things and why they are happening. With all these said, I think I need to pay my mom a visit. She seems to know more than she cla"It doesn't matter! All that matters is that I get Jake. You've always stolen him away from me. Then, and now. But I won't let history repeat itself,
Jake's POVThe first thing I did once Thomas and I returned was to go check up on Violet. Surprisingly, she wasn't in her room. Did she go home?I went to my father's study to go inquire about her whereabouts. Violet will never leave without informing my father."She went to the forest at the back for a run," Those were my father's words. That should be relieving– I knew where she was, but why did that feel unnerving? I felt like something bad happened."Where are you going?" Thomas shouted after me as I ran past him."The forest," I don't know if he heard me. I had run quite far before I yelled. I went to the back of the pack house first and I saw Violet's bundle of clothes. She must have changed into her wolf, which means she was going to take this route to get to her clothes.I picked up her clothes and ran into the forest. Changing into my wolf would have made everything easier but I decided against it. Only the moon goddess knows what Zion would do to Violet if I let him out.Aft
